@benjojo this is actually true of far more than just ceph

@benjojo ceph exists to keep production interesting and SREs on their toes

@starfrost lol

some folks don't like being boosted, im not one of those

i just wanted to make clear here

feel free to boost these

any posts of mine that don't say otherwise are always boostable if you think others should see them

better to be healthy enough to be there for yourself and others when you need to, because you will need to

reminder that you are under no obligation to doomscroll for the next four years

it will not help you

it will not change anything you do

it will not help you help anyone around you

dont feel obligated to do so

this is not the same thing as being politically engaged, even remotely

@igloo this really brings a whole new meaning to the term "asymmetric encryption"

@icing honestly a good part of why i started liking rust so much is that the borrow checker is just massively nicer than dealing with c++ static analyzers

that and cargo being Actually Good and Not CMake

@icing that's just the bpf verifier

@icing ahahahaha

@kouhai which one?

@weirdunits i wish they were that rare buddy

@RichiH @gsuberland @SwiftOnSecurity same, ive done this enough that i sorta have the hang of things

even so, it still feels bad and weird to go along with shit you know isn't gonna work because you know you don't have a choice and someone else made the call and will take the heat

@calisti for a long time i didn't really stand up for myself, and i was pretty conflict averse

this did me no favors and led to me getting fucked over a few times.

towards the end of 2024 i got mad enough about a few things that i started advocating for myself and not holding back where i previously would have

and it worked, i am now suddenly rapidly getting where i want to be and am making up for lost time

like the ents in the lord of the rings, i woke up and realized i am strong

@SwiftOnSecurity oh yes, which one are we talking about today?

to steal a line from @whitequark

the projected theme of this new year for me is "reach heaven through violence"

@weirdunits the reciprocal is more useful

@igloo @benjojo well he's definitely not a furry
